Answer:

A. As a contrast to the situation in the speakers neighborhood.

Explanation:

His neighbor resided on top of his apartment. Her notes were evidently wrong, and she shrieked. He acquired a sound system to drown and contradict her "music." He realized he missed the music he heard only after moving to a new apartment.

Ralph Ellison understood music's power. He understood that music may remind us of our history, who we were, and our goals. It is also an escape. It helps drown out life's difficulties, as he did his neighbor's terrible letters. Music not only soothes, but also resurrects and enlivens.

What part of Romeo's seemingly happy dream foreshadows the tragic events to come?
Anni [7]
This scene occurs near the end of the play, at the end of Act 5, Scene 1.

At this point in the play, Romeo has already been banished from Verona and has been staying in Mantua. He wakes in the morning and believes the dream he has just had is a good omen. He says "If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand."

When we learn the content of Romeo's dream, we cannot agree with him. He dreamed of Juliet, which is certainly nice. However, in his dream Romeo himself was dead! He says, "I dreamt my lady came and found me dead." 

Romeo interprets this dream as a positive one because in the dream Juliet "breathed such life with kisses in my lips That I revived." Here, he is saying that in his dream, Juliet found him dead but kissed him and brought him back to life. Although Romeo believes this dream is happy, it is actually foreshadowing what will happen in Act 5, Scene 3.

At this point, his cousin Balthasar arrives to tell him Juliet has died. What Romeo does not realize is that his dream WILL come true -- in a way. He will go to Juliet's tomb and kill himself. Juliet will waken shortly after his death and will kiss him. That's where the similarities end, however. Juliet's kiss will not bring Romeo back to life, and she will join him in death not long after.

And so, Romeo's seemingly happy dream actually foreshadows the tragic events to come.

Based on what you have read, compare, and contrast typical
Basile [38]

Answer:

most modern homes in spain are built on hills and mountains. this is because the geography and agriculture in spain consists of many mountains, hills, and valleys. meaning many houses are built on these natural formations. while on the other hand the u.s is different all over but mainly the agriculture and geography is flat. so houses don't have to be so close together, crowded, or on hills.

hope that helps :)

mart [117]

Answer:

My most uncomfortable moment came as a freshman in high school. I was chosen to go to the regional FFA competition to represent my school in impromptu speaking. This was an enormous task for me to undertake. I was given a binder of information, and three minutes to write an appropriate speech. Then, I had to go to a special room in front of four judges that I didn't know. The speech started with an introduction of myself and my topic, fruits and vegetables. I talked about soil preparation and weed control, and it was the longest three minutes of my life. My knees starting shaking, and I had to grab the podium to hold myself up. The whole podium started shaking, and the judges asked me if I was o.k. It took me a couple of minutes to get started because I dropped my cards, and had to reorganize them. I was sweating like a mad dog, and I then flew threw the speech. I honestly don't know if I stuttered at all, but I lost the competition, and the judges gave me a superior, which is what they give anyone who isn't good enough to win. This is a feel good mercy rating they gave me, but I made it through it and survived.
